Well Done Uk.

[Sqad]

Today Mrs sqad went to lunch with her badly dressed friend, who today was more appropriately dressed, and had a wonderful tale to tell.

In that restaurant came two UK families, each one with mother, father, each with two children aged 7 yrs and 8 yrs and one toddler in a push chair each............a total of six children and 4 adults.

The children were well behaved, no whingeing and all the children sat at the table throughout the meal with no running about.

A pleasure according to Mrs sqad...well done UK.

Ah! That's where they are. Please send them back ASAP.

I went out to lunch with my Mum today and a kid started having a tantrum and screaming (why do they always end up sitting near me). Anyway, she said that when myself and my sister were little, we never cried in public. I do remember falling over in the sea with my clothes on and crying but the tantrums didn`t exist. Something`s changed these days but I don`t know what brought it about.

Isn't it a sad reflection on the standards of children's behaviour that mannerly ones merit a comment?

[flump1]

See.....there is a god.

[boxtops]

It's good to hear, sqad - they don't all let us down :-)

But - were the kids scared to move ? Did they look as if they were actually enjoying themselves?


My brother's three kids are well behaved but they are still lively and intelligent and interesting people.

I wasn't there......but they impressed Mrs sqad......and she said that they, the kids, chatted amongst themselves.

I think that most children are good but they can't be good all the time.

My dad was born in 1928, spent his national service in Berlin during the airlifts and was in his late thirties when my brother and I were born. He was very old fashioned in many of his views. Men walked on the outside of the pavement and women on the inside. We behaved at the dinner table and when out.

I can say that my kitties are very well behaved - but it wouldn't be true.

How is your cat colony doing? Have you had any additions?

☺

[Sqad]

wolf.....LOL....no, no new kittens as all the adults have been "neutered."

A German vet with students come over twice a year and do the "neutering" free of charge.

[zebo]

I always tell the minis that when I take them out to eat or whatever, they might show us up once, but they'll not get the chance to do it twice.

[wolf63]

Sqad - I thought that cats would have something like "Hoomin rights" to breed freely.

Enjoy your kitties. Kittens may be very cute and fragile looking - but they are evil. Very very evil .... and cute.

It comes to something when such a thing is worthy of praise.

[marval]

That is good to hear, it nice to get a story about well behaved children.

I hope Mrs Sqad enjoyed her lunch.

when the not-so-mini albas were mini, we sat at a table as a family and table manners were taught/learnt.

When they were 5/7 we released them onto the world and were well behaved in a restaurant but blooming devils at the ball-pit in other establishments.

[anneasquith]

i'll bet they were Scottish :)

[murraymints]

Manners cost nowt...we were always well behaved in public places ...part of upbringing and good Catholic education !

[lady-janine]

my children and g/children have never misbehaved at a table, in public or otherwise but then we always eat at a table as a family for one meal a day.

mrs sqad's badly dressed friend - does she not wear silk?

[murraymints]

Same here lady...eating off knee in front of telly is very slovenly imho !

[Sqad]

\\\\\mrs sqad's badly dressed friend - does she not wear silk?\\\\

[Peter Pedant]
